you had mentioned!

Only 200 years? In Asia that's a newbie! Enjoy (as much as you can on a business trip)

Sam - I sure you can make Oasis this year? I would love to kick it with you for a spell...

Mad Doggie - I like your new mug man: Don't use that electric kiln of yours to fire raku. Raku kilns are easy to build, and you gots more room than you know what to do with out there in the boondocks...let's have a raku party! Read up...

Pops - I am going to put that Clay Jam together in Denver end of June...I'll pounce a pm to you as we get closer.

Master Squid - Why, yeeesss... How'ed you know?

Ok,ok...I'm back in the saddle again after that month hiatus...take my boss - PLEASE! The work around TC these days is just damn amazing. Ain't this fun!!!

Next up: For the past year I have found myself turning to page 154 in Big bro's EPIC "Book of Tiki"...I just love the PNG Drum he shows on this page. BB explains how this museum image was used by many in the Golden Age as a stepping stone. I've done a Ogga Moggaing to check the mugs (made back in the day) off of this image too....nice! Well, I figured I might as well toss out a short run on a Babalu version on my rendition on this image too...I jumped into oil for a minute. Oasis bound for this lot. Here is a little tastie of the start of the sculpt...tricky mold work instore.

Damn, you finally did it. I have been wanting to do that one for years now, maybe three and thought this summer was finally going to be it. I know I 'm big time lazy. Even thought about submitting something like that for the TikiFarm mug contest but wanted to do it on my own. Between Bai's Kava Moai and You, I don't have an original idea left.

heheh, babalu, you keep pushing the clay envelope. you probably have more extreme clay pieces than anyone i know. it makes me think now that i have a kiln. gotta keep my head on track, though. you keep the extreme, clay flame burning!

too few people know the extent of your talent like i do. you're starting to show it. just a leeeetle . . . . .

Holy Crap, the mug sculptors are kickin' some ass right now. Everybody's just raised their art another notch or two. The wood carvers , and painters are going to have to kick it in gear, 'cause the clay guys are kickin' some serious booty!
